NNL and DNV partner to explore large-scale nuclear production of hydrogen for UK gas network

Green Car Congress

The UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and DNV are partnering to explore the potential of nuclear-derived hydrogen to support the conversion of UK gas networks to hydrogen. As part of the ANSIC pilot’s ongoing commitment to help reach net zero, NNL is running three hydrogen workshops, with the first commencing on 30 November 2021.

DOE to award up to $12M for technologies to produce renewable carbon fiber from biomass

Green Car Congress

The goal of the FOA is to enable technologies that can produce bio-ACN at a modeled cost of $1.00/pound However, the cost of production for bio-ACN is expected to exceed that of conventional ACN in the near term as the technologies necessary for the conversion process have only recently been shown under laboratory settings.

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Petronas, which invested in LanzaTech’s C round ( earlier post ), is now committed via the new agreement to help work through the technology with LanzaTech. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. This is now being developed further, says Burton.
